So the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed during rush hour. They said on the news that there were probably 50-100 cars fell into the Mississippi river.
I guess this makes my 2hr commute today not seem so bad |

Fantastic use of funds actually that's why they built two of them, completely independent of one another. for redundancy. it was only a bonus if both made it there, and the fact that the pathfinder operated for way longer than intended is a good testament to how well designed they were. |
